Cheeseburgers with arugula, and mixed Greek olives on the side :)

Steak, potatoes, and Boston cream pie for dessert. I am so stuffed.

Today I got the propane tank for our freakishly efficient bbq filled (owned it for 8 years, and this is only the 2nd time I've had to fill it, and not for lack of use). So I needed to welcome the new tank properly.

Ralph's had porterhouse "cowboy cuts" (2 inch thick mouthwatering cuts of yum) on sale. Grilled one of those up with a parmesean-black pepper crust. Also used the grill to roast garlic for garlic mashed potatoes. Side salad with dressing made using some oil reserved from a jar of sun dried tomatoes.

I had to break in my non-stick grill tray and made grilled vegetables basted with some butter, olive oil, crushed garlic, rosemary and thyme. I like the contrasting flavors the marinade brings out.

I am making Beef Bourguignon for dinner tonight. It smells great already.

I made baked chicken that was marinaded is some storebought baja citris seasoning with orange juice. Made an orange-ish sauce to go with it, some roasted broccoli (a great way to make it if you've never tried it) with olive oil, salt and pepper and a little parm on top when it was tender crisp and roasty on the ends. Also made noodely stuff - browned butter, rotini and parm cheese (or mizithra).

Definately a dinner I'll be making again.

Lamb chops with garlic mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, baby spinach salad with walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette, and hot rolls.

Gretchen's making chili and cornbread

tomorrow is sweet corn muffins with jalepeno butter.
